lj name dropping and pictures

first things first--
have you voted for Diva today?

she's at #9 right now!!!



anyhow...

last night was, of course, [livejournal.com profile] the_dawning. We had two DJ's--DJ Rift and MC Tram, also known as [livejournal.com profile] nothingoth and [livejournal.com profile] pizza_tram. We also had two different musical acts--Nicki Jaine and anathema device.


I really liked Nicki Jaine. Her voice is amazing--resonant and rich--and her literary voice is also pretty darn witty and deep. She moved with ease from piano to guitar. I noticed that she tended to finger-pick her guitar, though boy think she used a plastic pick for at least two songs. She definitely didn't use it all the time. I'm looking forward to seeing her again when she feels like making the drive down. She made an effort to chat with folks in the club and really seemed happy to be down here. And damn... I've never seen *anyone* work the flapper aesthetic to such success.

anathema device put on a good show. they really seem to enjoy being on stage. Most of my pictures are of the vocalist and bassist, since they're easiest to see. But look--I managed to find the keyboard player and drummer. The vocalist loves his mike. the bassist amuses me quite a bit.


amelia with her Razor doll. [livejournal.com profile] originalcynic has been posting her comic lately and Razor is one of her characters. she's thinking about selling him, but she's quite attached, if anyone is interested, you could attempt to cajole her with large amounts of cash, caffeine, and licorice.

I know some folks on a not-goth-related list I'm on have been wondering about EGL (elegant goth lolita)... ask M about it. black light [livejournal.com profile] mbickers

since [livejournal.com profile] riotkat wasn't present to do the honors, [livejournal.com profile] xymoxed and [livejournal.com profile] mbickers felt the need to feel me.

Kristi is wearing PsySheep dreads by [livejournal.com profile] ashbet. her husband seems sweet. i need to get a chance to chat with him in a not-so-noisy space. Kristy with M.

DJ MC Tram was spinning some *great* songs. i wish we could've stayed longer, but we were tired and left 10-15 minutes early.

an incredibly flattering picture of me, alternately entitled, "what [livejournal.com profile] pace would look like with makeup."

Nicki Jaine was gifted with her own Spooky squeak toy.

gleeful that she can pay the bands, [livejournal.com profile] xiane fondles the money... later, she is shocked by the stories told by Nicki Jaine.

until [livejournal.com profile] eilonwy sees fit to introduce herself, i'm just going to post pictures of her dance floor activities.

my fabulous outfit, bought at a thrift store in Adams Morgan several years ago... it had a tag reading something like 1967 and $27. needless to say, i had to have it and bought it for about 20--it smelled of smoke (building nearby had burned, so there was some smoke damage to most of the goods in this place). it was worth a bit more, i think. it's hand made and fits me like a glove. it fit a bit better before my boobs grew an extra cup or three, but hey--that's life.

Your outfit is lovely, and I think it fits over that shelf pretty well ;-)

Why is Kevin's hair not spiked? Tell him I'm disappointed in him. (For a Friendster picture, I recommend one of the green-haired ones from a while back.)

though i enjoyed nicki-jaine's tunes, someone needs to get that girl a cheese burger or something. she must be famished!

though I think Nicki Jaine is just really pretty, I'm REALLY glad you didn't get a picture of me talking with her! EEEEP! You could fit about 6 of her in me :) Hehehe. Pretty girl though!
